The Protected designation of origin, or PDO, is the result of the European Union's decision on a common policy for the enhancement of agricultural production. It means that an agricultural product's whole production cycle is carried out in a specific territory. Many French departments produce PDO products, some specialize in meat, some in beverages, and some in dairy products.
The French regions of Auvergne Rhônes Alpes have the highest number of registered PDO dairy products in the country.
